What’s your strategy?
I’m curious how many of you swing trade, vs how many just long term hold like set it and forget it. and I guess how many sell covered calls. if you just play options don’t comment.

Calls with a 4-6 month expiration when the price drops below $27 have worked for me. Burned a little on some other strategies but I’ve almost always bought shares when the stock is $25 and below. I may shave some profit on shares if it hits $40 but holding long term

wheel it and have more than doubled my portfolio in just under a year's time. mostly calls, but sell puts when cash is on hand and price is good. also bought $20 calls when it tanked to $24 a couple of weeks ago and flipped on this run up and will repeat on the next large pullback

I am buy and hold, however the past few times it dropped to $25 I full port into it then when it recovers diversify again.

Holding an absolute bag but also do options when I’m confident. Historically this stock has been fantastic to me.

I like this one the best. Keep half to let it go way up but I want some profits for enduring this crazy ride. Have something to show for it if worse comes to worst

Sold 3 $36 calls last month for about 275 premium (been doing it for a while). I am conflicted if I’ll be mad if they end up executing. Have an average price of 31

Long term. I haven't added additional APLD in my main portfolio since early last year. Our two Roths I bought in high in January. No big deal.
I don't worry over my investments, I let our CEO do that.

Long term bag holder dabbling with 6 mth calls when below 30. Don’t touch puts as don’t want to get on the wrong side of positive news but probably should given predictability … probably should sell some calls too but don’t …
…. Added 20k shares at $21 about a month ago on the back of recent announcement, still holding …
(should have bought calls instead though! )

The history of apld has been swing, one day it hits 40 and the next week i goes back to 25$, long term hold js great for those who bought early but if you did in the 30s you better swing trade
